Chapter 151 Suicide is a consistent style of conduct
The issue of the ghost cave curse was not urgent yet. Luo Zihang put aside his complicated thoughts and followed the team to the foot of Zagrama Mountain.
Zagrama is not so much a mountain as it is two huge black rocks. Both of these huge rocks are tens of kilometers in diameter. Only a shallow backbone is exposed in the sand sea. The larger part is buried underground, and these two huge rocks are buried underground.
The two boulders are not ordinary stones, but magnets.
When the archaeological team approached them, the watches, compasses and other equipment they carried all malfunctioned, and they could clearly feel that the metal products on their bodies had become heavier.
Everyone got off the camels, with Luo Zihang and the guide taking the lead, followed by Acheng and Junior Brother Zhang, who lined up in a single file, led the camels, and walked cautiously into the dark valley.
Because the watch was out of order and it was night time, no one had an exact idea of the time, so the atmosphere became a little depressing just like when the team was hiding from a sandstorm in the ruins of the ancient city.
Fortunately, their lives are not in danger this time, so apart from being more likely to be mentally exhausted, there is not much of a problem at the moment.
The group of people walked for several hours, and when it was estimated that it was almost dawn, they saw a faint exit appearing in front of them, and it looked like they were about to leave the valley.
But it was at this time that the camels accompanying them seemed to have been frightened. They suddenly refused to move forward and wanted to run back restlessly. The guide whistled and shouted, and tried his best to let the camels get away.
Calm down.
"We can't go any further. God only allows us to go here." The guide said seriously.
There is a reason for him to think so. Even if these camels encountered sandstorms and army ants before, they were not as panicked as they were just now. For a believer who has just been rescued by a mysterious white camel, he will naturally regard it as a god.
warn.
However, as they were about to leave the valley, Monica, Professor Tian and others naturally refused to give up, and they immediately started arguing with the guide.
However, for a devout believer, once he believes that this matter is divine revelation, he will not give in easily. Even if Monica quadrupled the already considerable reward, he could not sway him.
.
Just as a few people were arguing, Luo Zihang on the side had already used a flashlight to shine in front of him, and successfully found a figure sitting on the ground. However, the light of the flashlight was still too weak, so he could only follow the instructions in the original work.
He lit a lighting firework and threw it over.
Under the illumination of cold fireworks, the figure successfully appeared in front of everyone.
"Who is this?" Monica stopped arguing with the guide and wanted to get closer and take a look.
Then he was pulled back by Luo Zihang.
"Don't go there. Didn't you see that the color of his skin is wrong? It could be that he is contaminated with some kind of poison."
Luo Zihang's words stopped everyone else who wanted to get closer. His previous judgment on the marching ants finally came into effect. In this uncertain situation, everyone was still willing to follow his command.
Then, Luo Zihang threw a few more cold fireworks around, lighting up a large area nearby. Then, further ahead, three more male corpses appeared. Like the first corpse, they had the same skin.
It showed a strange bluish color, and there were some guns and a few backpacks scattered around them.
"They should be those group of tomb robbers." Luo Zihang said to the others, picked up a stone, took a few steps forward, and threw it towards the first corpse.
The stone hit the target, and the sitting body shook and fell to the ground. The face towel used to protect the face from wind and sand also slipped off. When they caught it, everyone saw a strange snake with a black flesh crown on its head coming from him.
He came out of his mouth, avoided the lighting fireworks that were still burning around him, and jumped towards Luo Zihang and the others at an extremely fast speed.
Luo Zihang shook the flashlight in his hand and shined it on the strange snake. At the same time, he quickly pulled out the engineer shovel that had been on standby from behind with his other hand.
Fortunately, the description in the original novel was reliable. The strange snake was illuminated by the light and immediately jumped up from the ground as if it was electrocuted. However, after it landed, it still persevered and pounced towards Luo Zihang.
Luo Zihang quickly backed away while continuing to shine the flashlight at it. Unfortunately, the other party seemed to have adapted to this level of light and no longer had any strong reaction.
Seeing that the flashlight was no longer effective, Luo Zihang stuffed it into his pocket, then looked at the direction the strange snake was coming from, slapped it on the head with a shovel, and flattened the snake's head. A lot of the broken snake's head flowed out.
The inky black juice spilled onto the sand, making a creepy "chichi" sound.
Seeing how terrifying the venom of this strange snake was, Monica and other team members who originally wanted to step forward patted their chests with fear on their faces, and at the same time they became more convinced of Luo Zihang's command.
"Let's go around quickly..."
Many people have a natural fear of snakes, and Monica is no exception. If she hadn't still wanted to find her father's bones, she would have been ready to turn around and leave now.
"Don't worry." Luo Zihang waved his hand, "We don't know what dangers there are ahead, so it's best to bring those guns in case you need them."
In fact, the archaeological team is also equipped with two rifles for hunting birds, but in terms of power and rate of fire, they cannot be compared with those military rifles scattered on the ground, and according to the description in the novel, there are a lot of explosives in those backpacks.
, these things will be very useful later.
Then, Luo Zihang used the rope they brought to make a simple grapple, and used this grapple to hook all the guns and packages in the distance...
When he was studying martial arts in "Dragon Master", he was very good at using soft weapons such as meteor hammers, so it was easy for him to hook something with a grappling hook.
"Which one of you knows how to use a gun?" Luo Zihang threw a gun to Acheng, then turned to look at the others and asked knowingly.
"I can." Monica replied, stepped forward to take one, deftly removed the magazine and pressed it back in to show that what she said was true.
Then, Luo Zihang opened the backpacks again. In addition to some visible weapons, there was indeed a lot of yellow gunpowder, that is, TNT.
Luo Zihang sorted out the explosives and threw the exposed weapons to Professor Tian and others for disposal.
After doing all this, everyone set off again. With the reaction of the camels, they avoided the area where there might be strange snakes. Using the light of cold fireworks and flashlights, they hurried out of the dark valley of Zagrama.
Not long after they walked out of the valley, a slightly dim red began to light up in the distant sky.
Gradually, the dark red turned into rose, blood red, and finally turned into thousands of golden lights. The sun rose from the sand dunes in the east, shining the entire desert like gold.
In this golden yellow, a huge city is displayed in front of everyone, with countless ruins, various houses and buildings of brick, wood, earth and stone, and countless towers in the city. The most prominent one is a black stone tower that has tilted, quietly
Standing in the city.
Monica and Professor Tian were both excited. Even Professor Miao and others who had backed down before were excited. Only Luo Zihang continued to sigh helplessly...
If he hadn't been so targeted by this world, he wouldn't have bothered to come to the desert and suffer this crime. Wouldn't it be nice to open a pet shop and deal with cats and dogs?
It's a pity that although Monica and others would listen to Luo Zihang's command at critical moments, they completely ignored his advice on this issue. In high spirits, they accelerated their pace and rushed to Jingjue Ancient City.
However, when they approached the ancient city, the camels made trouble again. Just like before in the valley, they once again refused to move forward. Their restlessness was even more violent than in the Zagrama Valley.
Now the guide gave up. He didn't even mention the gods, but directly pointed out that the city was probably the lair of those strange snakes, so he refused to enter.
To be honest, everyone actually agrees with this speculation, but Professor Monica Wada does not intend to give up. Even Professor Miao and others who originally retreated have "rebelled" and want to enter the ancient city fearlessly.
And their reasons are very good, "Ajie killed the strange snake with a shovel before. Now we still have so many guns, there is no need to worry at all."
"You haven't thought much about it. Will the snakes hidden here be similar to the scale of army ants?" Luo Zihang poured cold water and said: "Even if there are only one-tenth of those army ants... no, one-twentieth the size, we
The few weapons in my hand are just decorations."
Luo Zihang's words successfully calmed down Professor Miao and others who were already a little scared. Even the two male students had the idea of retreating. Only Professor Tian and Monica still wanted to enter the city, even if they paid their lives for it.
No matter what.
In fact, Monica can understand why she chose Luo Zihang, but what is Professor Tian doing? The ancient city of Jingjue has been found. He can organize a better-equipped and more targeted archaeological team in the future. There is no need to risk this.
risk……
Although doing so will only make more people infected with the curse of the ghost cave.
After Luo Zihang secretly complained, he suggested: "How about this, let me, Acheng, Monica and Professor Tian enter the Jingjue Ancient City, and the rest of you will set up camp outside and wait for us to come out. If we are still there after one day,
If he doesn’t come back, you should turn back immediately.”
He suggested this because in the original work, it was the four of them who escaped from the Jingjue Ancient City alive. It would be better to let those who would die from this stay outside from the beginning.
"I have no problem." Monica was the first to respond.
For her, the number of people entering the ancient city is not a problem, she just wants to find her father.
Professor Tian had no objection. He even thought that there was no need for Luo Zihang and Acheng to go on adventures together...
So this person knew that this trip was extremely risky, but he just wanted to commit suicide?
Luo Zihang was speechless.
He is worthy of being a professor in the death-related department of his school. He is really from the same origin.
Among the few remaining people, the guide naturally had to go in. After a lot of debate between Professor Miao and the three interns, the two male students finally chose to go into the city together.
However, after thinking about it, Luo Zihang decided to bring only one junior student in.
"Professor Miao and Junior Sister Xiao Lin need someone to take care of them," Luo Zihang said pointedly: "It would be better to leave one more person behind."
Others thought Luo Zihang was guarding against the guide, but in fact, he remembered the prophecy of a prophet in the ancient city of Jingjue, which predicted that only four people could escape, so he wanted to try to bring one more in. The prophecy would
There will be no changes.
After some discussion, it was Junior Zhang who finally joined the team exploring the ancient city of Jingjue, because in the original work, he was affected by the corpse-scented konjac and killed another junior.
Although it was unlikely that such a situation would occur outside the city, considering the closure of the world line, Luo Zihang thought it would be better to take him with him.
After assigning the team, Luo Zihang and the other five brought some equipment and weapons, plus food and water bottles, and sprinkled their bodies with insect repellent that was not known to be effective, and then carefully walked into the ancient city.
.
However, not long after entering the ancient city, Professor Tian started to get interested. He completely ignored the strange snakes that might appear at any time and excitedly investigated everywhere. He could even stare at a section of the dilapidated city wall for a long time.
So Luo Zihang had to remind him that they didn't bring much water with them, and most of it was left to Professor Miao and others who were guarding outside the city. The main purpose of entering the city this time was to find the water source in the ancient city.
freshwater.
